Bachmann Patriot Class with Zimo sound and Stay-Alive

Kit: MX644D; Dumbo LS26X20X08-1W; SACC16 + SuperCap17000

Quite a simple installation into this model... the Dumbo speaker fits nicely at the back (IceCube18X13X08-1W would be a good alternative too). The speaker wires solder to the provided solder tabs in the model. Fore of the speaker, we locate the SuperCap17000uF for stay-alive.

The stay-alive wires are attached to the MX644D and go via a SACC16 PCB to the SuperCap.

The finished loco is a hansome beast...
